As I mentioned previously, I am teaching the second half of the University of Kansas’ flagship Intensive Institute on Science Fiction Literature. I’ll be teaching the same novels used in previous years, so I can’t take credit for the curriculum. It features the following novels:

The Demolished Man, Alfred Bester

The Languages of Pao, Jack Vance

Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner

Gateway, Frederik Pohl

The Man in the High Castle, Philip K. Dick

Timescape, Gregory Benford

Darwin’s Radio, Greg Bear

Dawn, Octavia Butler

Neuromancer, William Gibson

Accelerando, Charles Stross

Consider Phlebas, Iain M. Banks

Perdido Street Station, China Miéville

It’s a lot to cover in six days, but that’s part of the class’s allure: it’s two weeks of immersion in the history of SF.
